    A profound exploration of metaphysical awakening unfolds in this producer‑favorite replay from September 2025, as Michael sits down with Sara Byers — a respected business leader whose life was transformed by an unexpected spiritual opening. After the passing of her stepfather in 2020, Sara began receiving more than 3,000 pieces of poetry, often in the quiet hours of the night. These writings became a channel for deep truths about grief, identity, intuition, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. This conversation goes far beyond poetry.

    Stoneslayer: A Journey Through Loss and Reinvention

    What happens when the story you’ve been trained to tell can no longer hold the truth you’re living?

Together, Michael and Candace explore: Why myth often explains the human experience better than realismHow grief reshapes identity and creative voiceThe moment a lifelong journalist realizes imagination can reveal deeper truthWhat “storyhealing” is — and how narrative can transform painHow Stoneslayer emerged from loss, awakening, and reinventionThe tension between fact‑trained discipline and soul‑level storytelling If you’ve ever stood at the edge of a story you didn’t know how to tell, this conversation offers clarity, depth, and a new way to understand your own narrative.
